Richmond, VA – October 2020 in press: Michael F. Amendola, MD MEHP FSVS FACS, Daniel H. Newton, MD, co-authors of paper "Anatomic Suitability for Commercially Available Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula Creation Systems" appearing in Journal of Vascular Surgery | Link to paper
SYNOPSIS: This is the first major study to show head-to-head usability of two new commercially available products for creating fistulas for hemodialysis access. We found that only about half of all patients were candidates for this type of procedure, and the WavelinQtm could be used slightly more often.
